Monitor Plant Wide Operations

Information from different PLC's can be extracted and brought to a Plant Wide monitoring station.  Processes that are linked throughout the plant floor can be viewed in a single screen to allow for better control, monitor, and more efficient troubleshooting.

Monitor Connected Devices

A graphical depiction of the plant floor network topology is used as an aid to monitor the entire network from a single location.  Selecting a PC icon  brings up diagnostics information on the network activity, available memory, resources, etc.  Selecting a PLC icon brings up information regarding processor and I/O status.

Plant Wide Alarming

Alarm and event conditions from networked PLC's on the plant floor can be logged to a single location.  In the example displayed an alarm flag will be displayed at the location of the manufacturing floor where an alarm exists.  The user can select that location to view the alarm log file for that area.

Networked PLC Processor status

From the network overview screen, information on the activity and health of a PLC can be extracted.

Networked PLC I/O Status

The actual I/O racks from any PLC in the network can be examined.  Real-Time updates of both discrete and analog I/O are graphically displayed.
